I'll not buy Ford until:
1. They stop being the major offender in supporting groups working for gay marriage in America.
2. They get realistic with their prices and quality.

First thing, if they want to gain back some customers, they need to stop actively advertising to active homosexuals.

What I have seen over and over is companies trying to make the market do what they want it to do, rather than doing and responding to what the market wants and needs.
He's the man for the job!

Same here. As soon as I see the Ford label, forget it.

Bold Moves.
Sometimes it takes an outsider to bring new perspective to a sleepy industry.
Iacocca did wonders for Chrysler.

"Iacocca did wonders for Chrysler."
After decades working for Ford. Iacocca's entire experience was with cars. Mulally's is with commercial airliners.

To: paudio
I doubt it. They have the biggest backlog ever. And I personally think Airbus is gonna lose it's shirt over the superjumbo deal.
Costs alot of money for an airport to put it the facilities needed for a non-standard airliner. Bigger runways. Bigger everything.

Re: 1) - Toyota already outspends Ford on the advertising you find offensive. So Ford already is not the major offender....
To: eraser2005
Ford is the major offender in a variety of categories. You'll have to get with the AFA to see their score sheet.
Therefore, the issue is not just money.
However, I don't buy Toyotas, either.
